Study suggests YouTubers cheer people up more than casual friends

One-sided relationships with YouTubers are more emotionally fulfilling than talking to casual friends, a new study suggests. The University of Essex research discovered people feel watching online stars like Zoella, KSI and PewDiePie can cheer them up more than weak-tie acquaintances—like neighbors or co-workers. One-sided relationships with YouTubers are more emotionally fulfilling than talking to casual…

Researchers develop a novel strategy for growing two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides

National University of Singapore (NUS) researchers have developed a novel phase-selective in-plane heteroepitaxial strategy for growing two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDs). This approach provides a promising method for phase engineering of 2D TMDs and fabricating 2D heterostructure devices. National University of Singapore (NUS) researchers have developed a novel phase-selective in-plane heteroepitaxial strategy for growing two-dimensional…

Large-area preparation of flexible carbon nanofilms with synergistically enhanced transmittance and conductivity

Large-area flexible transparent conductive films (TCFs) are urgently needed for future electronics, optoelectronics, energy devices and other fields. Indium tin oxide (ITO) TCF, which is widely used in modern technology, faces difficulties in meeting the needs of scientific and technological development (especially a new generation of flexible electronic devices) because indium is a non-renewable resource…

How farming could change in a post-growth world

Degrowth, or the idea that we can save the planet by shrinking our economies, is ceasing to be a fringe concept. In the past years, green politicians across the EU have increasingly claimed the school of thought offers the best solution to the ecological crisis. Degrowth, or the idea that we can save the planet by…

Dental enamel study suggests differences in Neanderthal and Paleolithic human childhood stress

Neanderthal children (who lived between 400,000 and 40,000 years ago) and modern human children living during the Upper Paleolithic era (between 50,000 and 12,000 years ago) may have faced similar levels of childhood stress but at different developmental stages, according to a study published in Scientific Reports. The authors suggest that these findings could reflect…
